To the family,
Accept my sympathy for the loss of Maureen. There were many mornings where she would watch out her window to make sure that I was OK as I "cut through" her yard while peddling the morning paper.She was an extremely loving person!

Barbara, Linda, David and family-Was very sorry to hear about Rere. She was a lot of fun and I certainly have very fond memories of Sunday afternoons at the Brennans. I know you all have had a very tough time of it lately, but just remember, it goes the other way, too. God Bless
